An easy, no bake dessert involving some of my favorite flavors.
These Raspberry & Chocolate Cheesecake Trifles come together in minutes
and are the perfect thing to be packed up and taken anywhere!
A big thank you to Dove Chocolates for asking me to be a Tastemaker for them this summer by creating 3 recipes with their outstanding chocolate. Dove Promises are colorfully wrapped, the right size for snacking and make the perfect starting point for a rich, chocolate-y dessert. I love the sayings that are printed on the inside of the candy wrapper, they always make me smile.
My inspiration for this dessert was the bounty of fresh raspberries that were staring me down at the fruit stand. I adore the combo of dark chocolate and raspberries – it definitely ranks up there as one of my all time favorites. Including them both in a no bake dessert? A no brainer this time of year. These sweet little treats in a jar come together quickly and would be easy to throw in the cooler for your next picnic. Could you make this in one big bowl? Absolutely!
I’ll be sharing the two other recipes that I made using Dove Chocolates over on the Dove Chocolates Facebook page and on our Crumbs and Chaos Facebook page – follow us both to be sure you don’t miss anything!
